PRESENT ORGANIZATION OF THE GENERAL CONFERENCE COMMITTEE

H. E. OSBORNE

Our readers will remember that, during the session of the General Conference one year ago, material changes were effected in the organization of the general body, and a new constitution adopted. Article 4, section 1, of this constitution declares that “The Executive Committee of this Conference shall be twenty-five in number, and shall have power to organize itself,” and “to appoint all necessary agents and committees for the conduct of its work.” GCB January 1, 1902, page 590.7

When the present Committee organized itself, in April, 1901, it was understood to be only for one year, rather than for the biennial term. Accordingly, favorable opportunity having been presented by the presence of several members of the General Conference Committee residing at a distance, reorganization was effected Feb. 15, 1902. GCB January 1, 1902, page 590.8

No change was made in the membership of the Committee. Pastoral and Finance Committees were discontinued, and some changes were made in the personnel and organization of certain departments. These will probably be indicated better by giving the directory of the present organization of the Executive Committee than by recording the action of the Committee relating to each case.
